Business Challenge
  • The client operated 40+ aging mainframe systems that were expensive to maintain, slow to adapt, and creating bottlenecks across their global supply chain and manufacturing operations.
Our Solution
  • Kumaran deployed an AI-driven modernization strategy using automated code analysis, refactoring tooling, and phased migration to modern cloud-native platforms. Each system was catalogued, assessed, and migrated with zero disruption to ongoing operations.
Key Results
  • $15.1M in estimated annual cost savings achieved
  • 30% reduction in end-to-end processing time
  • 99% improvement in data accuracy across all migrated systems
  • 40+ legacy mainframe systems fully modernized
  • Eliminated dependency on costly COBOL expertise
